According to him, the APC candidate was rejected by the people when he tried campaigning for him.

“Believe me, I tried everything I could to campaign for him but it seemed that the people did not like him. But immediately I asked who they would vote for they all started shouting Ugwumba! Ugwunba,” Okorocha said.
